Reflect some of the ways that you want to assess your students, i.e. monitor their level of understanding what you're teaching.
Asking questions are one of my favorite things to do. I will incorporate them in the beginning of the lesson and at the end as informative assessment. Reader Response Journals implemented in the beginning of the class or for homework may sometimes tie in content that we learned the day before as a form of assessment. A Perfect Storm Project (CT's) at the end of the quarter will assess students on their ability to tie in all aspects of the lesson to an application project. Quizzes after each main topic (ex. weather, currents) will help students and myself prepare for their more formal exam at the end of the class. Questions can range from multiple choice to short answer and application.
Describe your grading policy, i.e. how you will assign scores to represent performance. Explain why you are choosing to use this method. If you are continuing your CT's grading policy, explain what you feel are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach.
I am continuing my CT's grading policy. Strengths are that students will not have to adjust to a new grading policy and teacher can easily incorporate my assignments into the online grading system. I am in charge of how much points can be awarded to a particular assignment, which I believe will be very helpful in targeting understanding of specific content over others. I am unsure of the symbol method on grading because I find it a round about way of awarding points.
